I always liked Howard Zinn's response to "Love it or Leave it." As I'm sure you know, he said, "Sure. Tell me where I can go that the U.S. won't bomb!" (Or something like that.)
Yup. Typical narrative: learn the ropes from crooks and deploy them for your own benefit. Then when the crook runs into trouble, you can crucify them. And why not? You know the ropes!
Here's the thing- I'm seeing all these so-called diverse people (women especially) being given appointments and positions of very powerful weight who are being caught with their hands in the cookie jar. What gives? Oh yeah...the virtue signaling specialists, the Dim Party.
I generally agree with your perspective, except that to be nitpicky-- as is my wont-- I don't think that DEI and TDS are mutually exclusive. In Venn Diagram terms, I think there's a substantial overlap in these two domains.
Off the top of my head, I see DEI as the flip side to the greasy counterfeit TDS coin-- the ideological side. Here again is a topic that lends itself to at least chapter-length ruminations, or entire podcasts. But just to offer a taste: in my 'umble opinion, the reprehensible and insidious fascistic phenomenon of "lawfare" is the common denominator that connects TDS and DEI.
The concept of DEI is superficially attractive. What civilized, humane, fair-minded person would object to social diversity, equality, and inclusion? (BTW, I think it's noteworthy that whoever created and popularized this phrase didn't put "equality" first.)
But in practice, the ideology that spawned DEI-- originally called "identity politics", now "Woke(ness)"-- transmogrified the traditional role of law as (ideally, if not in practice) an impartial, dispassionate system of achieving justice into a would-be benevolent inquisition to promote social justice. "Social justice", that is, as the judicial DEI zealots see it.
Thus, it's true enough that the TDS "Resistance"-dominated judicial system has a special mission to take down Trump by any means necessary, and Democratic glorified shysters presently have an opportunity to literally promote themselves by vying to be the one who takes Trump's scalp in the expectation of at least finally extinguishing Trump's political career, and hopefully crushing him entirely for good measure.
But the lawfare ideologues serving as state prosecutors on every level also abuse the concept of "restorative justice" to administer law in an arbitrary and capricious manner that "decriminalizes" significant criminal behavior on the grounds that traditional prosecution is abusively bigoted, racist, malignantly oppressive, etc. towards racial, ethnic, and non-heterosexual minorities.
In conclusion, speaking of splitting the baby in half, I contend that Fani and Tish are heavily-recruited TDS varsity stars playing for DEI University. 😡 ⚖️
I agree that there's a noteworthy blend of the two within an overall unified "ideology," or whatever. An interesting slight detour for me was in the dynamics of the California U.S. Senate race. There, the easy "DEI" move (but valid on quality for me) was if Barbara Lee was named as Feinstein's interim replacement, which would have put her in strong position to win the election. Instead, the manipulation was done to insure a major TDS, Zionist white got the foot up.
I follow Viva Frei and see John Barnes with him, as well.
Viva is not one of the ones who is overtly "rah-rah, America" being recently transplanted from Canada. But I do like how he ends his shows with: "Exercise, get some sunshine." Or something like that.
All the trumped up charges are not just against Trump's potential presidency, but he said it himself. The precedents against future candidates AND citizens are even so much more dangerous

You've got to stop watching those soap operas.
I've said something like Howard did many times.
Nope, I am obsessed with Days of Their Depraved Lives.

except Fani and Tish were both elected based on their and their voters' TDS.
Appointments are different, but, there can also be an overlap between DEI and TDS---of course.
I knew it!.. I knew she was dirty.
And shame on the Irish for colluding with her.
Seems the Irish Historical Society was crooked before Tish, but, she takes it up to an entire new level.
Attny John Barnes does an excellent job on the day to day of the Fani case. (Barnes is litigating the Pfizer whistleblower case among others)
On Vivafrei site.

My bag - it's ROBERT Barnes.
Agreed....not DEI but TDS!
